ABSTRACT:
An automatic focusing device for cameras, microscopes and the like for automatically adjusting the focal point of a lens with the aid of an operational circuit. The operational circuit derives brightness information of adjacent picture elements, calculates differences in picture element brightness from this brightness information, and aids in the smoothness of brightness change associated with this difference for a number of picture elements. An accumulated value of this smoothness of brightness change is obtained for all picture elements, and the optical system is moved to make the accumulated value a maximum and to adjust the focal point accordingly.
